Linebacker Aaron Curry, who was the No. 4 overall pick in the 2009 NFL draft, signed a deal with the New York Giants on Friday. As far as his outlook in the Big Apple is concerned, there should actually be at least somewhat of a chance for Curry to be a prominent contributor to the Giants’ defense.

The starting strong-side linebacker spot is ironically occupied by Keith Rivers. Rivers was the ninth overall pick out of Southern California, but never panned out with the Cincinnati Bengals.
